This study was conducted to identify trends and knowledge structures associated with recent trends in Korean tourism from 2010 to 2015 using keyword data. To accomplish this, we constructed a network using keywords extracted from KCI journals. We then made a matrix describing the relationships between rows as papers and columns as keywords. A keyword network showed the connectivity of papers that have included one or more of the same keywords. Major keywords were then extracted using the cosine similarity between co-occurring keywords and components were analyzed to understand research trends and knowledge structure. The results revealed that subjects of tourism research have changed rapidly and variously. A few topics related to 'organization-employee' were major trends for several years, but intrinsic and extrinsic factors have been further subdivided and employees of specific fields have been targeted as subjects of research. Component analysis is useful for analyzing concrete research topics and the relationships between them. The results of this study will be useful for researchers attempting to identify new topics.

Although healing is now developing an interest in extending tourism, there have been few studies in this area. Especially late-night tour is closely related to healing experience, but there are little researches that help us understand healing in late-night tour.

We collected data involving various late-night tourist, and used 198 respondents to analyze these data using LISREL structural modeling. Light aesthetics and sharing mood had positive effects on stress remove, but Culture uniqueness didn't have a signigicant effect on stress remove, unlikely the prediction. And all late-night shape had positive effects on psychological happiness. Also we tested the effects of the healing experience(stress remove and psychological happiness) on attitude. In the final section, we discussed several limitations of our study and suggested directions for future research. We concluded with a discussion of managerial implications, including the potential to advance understanding late-night tourist and implying an enhanced ability to satisfy target consumers of late-night tour.
